Hey there, welcome to the first and hopefully successful 4th Gen Quiz Event! This event, will be testing your Fourth Generation knowledge and some of the questions will really have you thinking and bringing out the best of your knowledge. Essentially, it'll be a quiz with thirty questions all relating to the Fourth Generation (as a whole) or the games Diamond, Pearl, Platinum and Heartgold and Soulsilver (individually). There'll be an equal balance of questions; as in a few for HG/SS and a few for D/P/Pt.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/95/Ani441MS.png Judging and Prizes



Now onto how judging works. Other than the usual 'who gets the most questions right', a winner will be determined by the quality of your answers. Quality can mean a number of things; your spelling and punctuation, the detail of your responses, the way you present your responses etc. Do as much as you possibly can to show you've given your best effort!

Here's the judging criteria:
  • +1 point for every correct answer
  • +0 points awarded for blank or incorrect answers.
  • The quality of your answers will also be out of 10, giving a grand total of 40 points.
Ah yes prizes. Other than the satisfaction of knowing you tried your best, there will also be emblems awarded for the winner(s) and a participation emblem for everyone else! (The winner(s) will also additionally receive something somewhat special).


If you have any questions regarding this event, feel free to ask in this thread! Now let's get rolling and may the odds ever be in your favou-- in general good luck! Also big thank you to [supporter]GolurkisdaBomb[/supporter] for helping out with constructing the questions.

Treecko April 27th, 2013 11:13 PM

This seems like fun! I'm definitely doing this. :)

Reminds me I need to look for my copy of Platinum cause it's been lost for weeks. :( (No I won't use it to cheat if I find it. :) Honest. )

Ace. April 27th, 2013 11:20 PM

Food. Sounds fun. In :D Ok 25 characters. Hopefully I still remember stuff since the last time I played a 4th Gen Game was last year :]

vaporeon7 April 27th, 2013 11:23 PM

I just PMed my answers. I'm curious to see how I did.

oh god that pun

Khoshi April 27th, 2013 11:24 PM

I'm in for this :D, I played both Diamond and Platinum, so I know I'll do well in at least half the questions 8)

Sydian April 27th, 2013 11:28 PM

Seems fun. n__n I'll work on my answer sheet tomorrow. Is it cheating to pop in the game and check things, or is that considered on the same string as using Bulbapedia? Just want to clarify. Though I'm probably gonna be too lazy to do that, but still curious.

...

Dammit, puns.

curiousnathan April 27th, 2013 11:36 PM

Using your game is allowed. 8)

Treecko April 27th, 2013 11:53 PM

Oh ok so even if I do find my Platinum before this ends I could use it for answers.

I'm just curious wondering is using an official strategy guide that I bought and own allowed or is that similar to using Bulbapedia?

It's similar to using Bulbapedia haha, sorry. You're only allowed to use your game(s).

LaVida April 28th, 2013 1:42 AM

I sent in my answers yesterday.

I thought it was a lot fun and challenging at the same time.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. 8)

PlatinumDude April 28th, 2013 7:36 AM

Sent in my answers. Honestly, I haven't played Gen IV in a while, so this is a good way to test my memory of it. I couldn't answer a few of them though, but at least I tried.

That's the main thing! Hope you enjoyed it; you did quite well actually. 8)

Aslan April 28th, 2013 11:42 PM

Glad to see people enjoyed them and haha that's the point, to make it challenging. n__n;

Anyway good job to everyone who has entered so far, looking forward to seeing some more. :>

Khoshi April 29th, 2013 12:08 AM

Tried my best, but sadly failed at the HG/SS questions..all the D/P/Pt questions were easy for me though, since I've replayed them countless times.

droomph April 29th, 2013 6:04 PM

Disregarding the whole "illegal" part, an emulator counts as "my own copy", right?

Yes, it does count as your own copy.

Synerjee April 29th, 2013 9:11 PM

Wow, such challenging questions! I'm entering and will try my best! May my knowledge of the 4th Generation serve me well. *crosses fingers*

Brendino April 30th, 2013 1:31 AM

I love doing these trivia challenges! There were a couple of questions that stumped me, but all in all I think I did fairly decent, considering I couldn't find my Platinum. I've finished and sent in my answers to both the hosts.

I'd like to extend a very warm thank you to everyone who participated. Without you, this event wouldn't have been such a success. The results will be posted shortly, and emblems will be uploaded and handed out later this week. I hope you had fun, and you can guarantee that more events will be hosted in 4th Gen in the future, so hoorah!



Captain Gizmo May 3rd, 2013 7:55 AM

Loved this contest, it made the 4th gen thread more alive! :D

Khoshi May 3rd, 2013 7:45 PM

This was most certainly a fun contest, and I'm proud I joined in on the fun~

Thanks Narnia and Curious for hosting such an exhilarating event! ^-^

I'd also like to give a big thankyou out to Narnia and GolurkisdaBomb, without them, this competition would not even exist.

'Till next time!

Treecko May 3rd, 2013 9:51 PM

Oh crap. I forgot to send in my answers for this. :(

Oh well congrats to the winners of the contest! We definitely should try this again or something similar to it! Cause I didn't get to enter.

bobandbill May 3rd, 2013 11:17 PM

Hum, not bad for myself I think given I didn't touch DPPt for chaining and just went from memory! Congrats to AlexOzzyCake and Brendino, I will need to lift my game next time around I suppose. ;p (Or just guess better, haha).

Curiously, any chance of getting the answers shown? Would be neat to see what they were after all!

tabor62 May 3rd, 2013 11:20 PM

Ahahaha, got second last (I'm surprised I didn't get last). I don't remember much about Gen IV anymore, been trading in Gen V too much. Congrats to AlexOzzyCake, Brendino, and Bobandbill
o 3o

Khoshi May 3rd, 2013 11:47 PM

I tried my best :D

No problem! congrats to the winners :)

Brendino May 4th, 2013 12:16 AM

Big congrats to AlexOzzyCake on winning even if you beat me by less than a point. Haha.

I can honestly say I'm shocked that I scored as well as I did- I was only confident in about half of my answers, and figured that 25 would be a respectible score for me.

I'd love to be able to see the answers, too.

PlatinumDude May 4th, 2013 6:28 AM

Wow, I was second place? Mind = blown.

Anyway, congrats to everyone else who participated.

curiousnathan May 4th, 2013 6:40 AM

I'll be sure to post the answers up when I have the time! I'll be very busy tomorrow, and it's already 12:40am in the morning here so.. haha.

Khoshi May 4th, 2013 6:50 AM

Ah, Aussie times, I see. It's 12:47am right now, so I guess first thing in the morning? Unless plans, that is.

Anyway, nice event, looking forward to seeing what and where I could improve. Thanks.

Captain Gizmo May 4th, 2013 7:01 AM

Wow, I did more bad than I thought I would do xD
Curious to see how how I did with the answers :P

Synerjee May 4th, 2013 8:19 AM

Oh no, I missed to submission date! D: D: I already had my answers typed down and all ready to submit, but I had a whole day full of activities yesterday and today and had no time to go online to actually send the PMs... :C

Putting that aside, congrats to all winners and participants! The main thing is that y'all had fun! Hope to participate in another upcoming event soon. n_n

Ace. May 7th, 2013 12:58 AM

Even if I didn't win, this was really fun. Hope to see another event like this again sometime. :D
